Description
Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey" took a meandering course toward publication. Originally written in 1803 as a satire of the popular Gothic novels of the day, the book was not published until after Austen's death in 1817.
The story concerns seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland, who has lived her entire life in the small village of Fullerton with her parents and nine siblings. This sedate (and frankly boring) life is upended when Catherine receives...

"Es ist eine allgemein anerkannte Wahrheit, dass ein Junggeselle im Besitz eines schönen Vermögens nichts dringender braucht als eine Frau." - Dieser berühmte Satz steht am Anfang eines Romans, der zu den erfolgreichsten Liebesgeschichten der Weltliteratur gehört. Eine gehörige Portion "Stolz" muss abgelegt und so manches "Vorurteil" aus dem Weg geräumt werden, bis Elizabeth und Mr. Darcy endlich ein Paar werden.

Bei ihrem Tod mit nur 41 Jahren hinterließ Jane Austen drei ganz unterschiedliche unvollendete Romane: "The Watsons"? "Lady Susan" und "Sanditon". Sie bieten einen einzigartigen Einblick in ihre literarische Werkstatt, sind aber auch unabhängig davon als literarische Werke sehr reizvoll zu lesen. Als Ergänzung zu den sechs abgeschlossenen Romanen liegen sie hier in neuer Übersetzung vor.

Description
Although the four novels published in her lifetime were well-received, much of Jane Austen's notoriety came about after her death. Her decision to publish anonymously was a standard for women in the early 19th century and furnished one of the most beloved writers in English literature little personal acclaim during her lifetime. The stories in this collection are drawn from the manuscripts of the author that are commonly referred to as her "Juvenilia"....

La autora inglesa Jane Austen (1775-1817) es una de las voces más reconocidas de la literatura de habla inglesa, y quizás de la literatura universal. Sus obras fueron consideradas adelantadas a su tiempo por la forma de abordar temas como la percepción del rol de la mujer en la Inglaterra de transición entre los siglos XVIII y XIX, el matrimonio como instrumento de control social y el hermetismo y sectarismo de la alta sociedad inglesa.

Extrait: "C'est une vérité presqu'incontestable qu'un jeune homme possesseur d'une grande fortune, doit avoir besoin d'une épouse.

In these two forgotten gems of English literature, Jane Austen and Charles Dickens offer delightful, irreverent histories of their native land. When she was only sixteen years old, Jane Austen composed her bitingly satirical History of England for performance in her family's drawingroom. A startling and precocious example of her celebrated wit-not to mention a brilliant social commentary-this lively piece sweeps rapidly across almost four centuries...
